“Snoke is bloody dark; way darker than Palpatine,” states Andy Serkis about his character. “He’s riddled with this osteoporosis so his body’s twisted, like a corkscrew.

He’s definitely not a Sith, but he’s certainly at the darker end of the Force. Without giving too much away, that begins to unfold a little in this one.”
